Bicyclist Behavior
Riding on the Right
When riding on a roadway, a bicyclist must ride in the same direction as other traffic. Also, the bicyclist must travel in the right-hand lane and should ride as close as practicable to the right-hand edge of the highway. [§20-146(a)] Exceptions to this law are provided when the bicyclist is making these maneuvers:

• Passing another vehicle moving in the same
direction [§20-146(a)(1)
• Avoiding a dangerous obstruction
[§20-146(a)(2)
• Riding on a one-way street [§20-146(a)(4)
• Preparing for a left turn. [§20-146(e)
Bicyclists are not required to ride on adjacent
bicycle paths.
But what's wrong with FRAP for slowly driven vehicles anyway? It's part of the general basic rules of the road for drivers of vehicles, steve...
